Chapter 337: What is Righteousness?
"The old man can try to make His Highness see Xining."
Hu Hu politely persuaded Zhu Qiming for nearly an hour, but Zhu Qiming was unmoved, always talking about him left and right, Hu Hu was helpless and made the biggest compromise he thought he could make.
This is an elegant garden in the imperial city, close to the Daming Gate, covering an area of not large, but it is a carved beam and painted building, winding fence and secluded path, which is very different from the courtyard style of the capital, with the rich atmosphere of the courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River. When Zhu Qiming lived in the palace annex, he often passed by this mysterious place and secretly inquired about the owner of the Grace Garden, but the result is unknown.
Zhou Lin was alone in the courtyard admiring the plum blossoms, and at this moment he returned to the verandah, leaning on the curved railing, glancing at the door from time to time, obviously his curiosity had been exhausted.
Zhu Qiming raised his eyes and looked out of the door, his faint gaze did not know whether it was Zhou Lin or Mei Lin in the distance. "Hu Shangshu is a well-educated man, and his life for decades has been full of ups and downs in the sea, alas, it's a pity!"
Hu Hui's eyelids raised slightly, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”
Zhu Qiming retracted his gaze, his soft face revealed the gentleman's style of being as warm as jade, but his tone was clearly mean, "If he was hidden in the world back then, in time, Master Hu would either be a generation of grandmasters, or a master outside the world, and when the country was in great trouble one day, Lord Hu could enter the world and become famous all over the world with his immortal talent." And officialdom, there are only people there, but they can't create geniuses. ”
This is the first time that Zhu Qiming has bluntly despised the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and to Hu Hui's ears, these words are a bit harsh, but fortunately, Zhu Qiming is not like Wang Zhen, who directly denounced the Jiuqing of the DPRK and the Central Committee as "rotten Confucianism". However, after all, the word "human essence" is not praised, and if you think about it deeply, if Jiuqing is both a "rotten Confucian" and a "human essence" who is good at drilling, it will be even more unbearable!
Just imagine, in the face of internal and external troubles, they are "rotten Confucians", and when they are faced with power and self-interest, they are "human spirits", won't such people become the garbage people in the world?
Hu Hu is worthy of being a tired old minister, and in the face of the double stimulation caused by the scene and association, he just laughed it off.
Only then did Zhu Qiming respond to Hu Hui's belated compromise: "For Xiao Wang, Xining has become a chicken rib, and many things can be guessed seven points, not to mention that Xiao Wang acts completely opposite to some people, Xiao Wang doesn't like to say beautiful things, but he always puts the world first when he does things, Lord Hu might as well think about it, at this juncture, will Xiao Wang go to stir up Xining's pile of shit?" To tell the truth, two years ago, Xiao Wang wanted to reach a compromise with Lord Hu, as long as he took care of the righteousness and wisdom, the compromise price at that time was very small, Xiao Wang could solve Xiao Wang's old grievances, and Lord Hu continued to be Lord Hu's minister, each giving each other convenience, so that maybe one day Xiao Wang could help Lord Hu. It's a pity that Master Hu chose to stand in line and stand in one camp, and he will have to face ruthless scrutiny from all sides, and Xiao Wang is not the only one who has turned your back! Master Hu, you say, do you have great righteousness and great wisdom? ”
The corners of Hu Hui's mouth twitched slightly, "Standing in line?" Where does this begin? ”
Zhu Qiming smiled softly, "See the subtlety!" Lord Hu might as well think about it, why did the emperor ask you to act as a lobbyist? What are your trading chips? Oh, in order to establish the crown prince, the top priority, the monarchs and ministers of the court can only increase and decrease the weight of the royal family disputes, so that the little king's heart can be moved, isn't it? Slowly got up, moved to the door, and waved his hand in a very chic posture, "Lord Hu often says good things about King Xiang in the ear of the Son of Heaven, right?" ”
The emperor appointed the lobbyist, but it turned out that this was the intention? Hu Hu couldn't hold his breath anymore, he suddenly realized that he, a well-educated person, was a minister, but in front of Zhu Qiming, he was just a bunch of building blocks for others to deconstruct, how could he still have half a point of wisdom at all!
"Righteousness? Is there still righteousness in your Highness's heart? At the critical juncture of the prince, in order to vent his anger for his husband's family, His Royal Highness actually embarrassed a relative with the respect of a prince, how can he be righteous and wise! ”
Zhu Qiming turned around and glanced at Hu Hu curiously, "No matter how big the movement of Xiao Wang is, it can only change those things that must be changed, and what cannot be changed will still evolve according to its inherent trajectory, and no one can change it!" Not to mention, in the harem, there will be people who make the most correct choice out of instinct, and the princes of the court may not be able to beat the harem women in the palace for Xiao Wang's move! ”
Disgrace! Hu Hui's face flushed, "Your Highness might as well say it clearly, what do you want to change?" ”
"Punish evil and promote good, calm people's anger, and prevent trouble before it happens."
"It's okay to let those family members obey the law, a boy who is only sixteen years old, even if he is a little stubborn, is not enough to become a victim of His Highness's so-called punishment of evil and promotion of good! His Royal Highness escorted him to the official palace, whether he was exonerated or not, his reputation was completely ruined, which would become an eternal stain on the Zhou family, and the stain on the Zhou family would not only damage the Zhou family, but also cause an uproar and affect the crown prince. In the final analysis, His Royal Highness's retention of Zhou Lin is just to vent the Lu family's personal anger, and it has nothing to do with righteousness and wisdom! ”
Zhu Qiming shook his head helplessly and returned to his seat, "What does Master Hu mean to let Xiao Wang release Zhou Lin?" ”
Hu Hui's face softened slightly, "What's the difference between putting it and not letting it go?" If His Royal Highness can't let go of this matter in his heart, the Lu family, and perhaps many families in Beijing, will send a complaint to Shuntian Mansion at any time and gather people to complain, and at that time, all forces will be involved, and the situation will only get out of control. ”
Zhu Qiming glanced at Hu Hu lightly, "Lord Hu might as well think of a way back for himself, so that he can do it himself." As for Zhou Lin's affairs, you can't do anything, just as you are always at a loss for the countless shortcomings of the DPRK and China. ”
Hu Hui's eyes froze, his face was red to the root of his ears, and he was speechless for a while.
The green calyx of Changning Palace didn't know when he came to the courtyard, and at this moment he was whispering to Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin first nodded frequently, and then shook his head again and again, after the green calyx left, Zhou Lin leaned on the railing and looked blankly from afar, looking bitter and hateful.
Jin Ying entered the hospital, glanced at the depressed Zhou Lin, and then walked past him and walked into the room.
"See His Royal Highness King Yue, Hu Shangshu is good. Your Royal Highness, the conversation here has been fruitless for a long time, and the emperor is impatient to wait, so it is rumored that His Highness will enter the palace quickly to see His Majesty. Please invite Hu Shangshu to enter the palace together. ”
The three of them walked out of the gate, and Zhou Lin walked quickly to Zhu Qiming's side, "His Royal Highness King Yue, I will enter the palace with you, alas, I am still right by you!" If the emperor is furious, don't forget to excuse him! ”
This king hasn't settled accounts with you yet, so you trust this king so much? Wonderful! Zhu Qiming glanced at Zhou Lin, "Don't worry, you invited yourself to join the army, the emperor is too late to be happy, how can he be angry?" ”
Hu Hu stopped, stunned there, stroked his beard after a while, at this moment, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't want to admit that Zhu Qiming would have such a deep calculation.
King Yue must have vented his personal anger and painstakingly calculated the Zhou family! This Zhou Lin was sold and helped to count the money, which is really stupid!
As soon as he thought of this, Hu Hu suddenly felt a lot better.
